Boriack's flight attendant said she has never experienced such bad turbulence in her 20 years on the job. Boriack herself left with a few bruises, but she wrote that others ended up with broken bones. "I know I don't know these people, but please pray for them," she said.

Boriack spoke to UK paper The Metro about the scary incident. "It was a very quiet flight, then there was a very big drop," she said. "People that weren't buckled in went flying around the cabin."
